I will admit I was expecting to like this so much more than I actually did. I was kinda disappointed in this one because it didn't turn out into what I was expecting or desiring. It wasn't a horrible story or anything, I liked the relationship as a whole, and loved seeing the heroine overcome some of her issues, but it just didn't feel fully resolved for me. Like I felt like we just skimmed the surface of their issues and I hated seeing the hero being neglected in some of his needs which as a dominant he needed. And there was this teaser of them trying but just never happened and I felt very disappointed and let down. But what keeps this book at such a high rating is the fun banter and the alpha hero and seeing how emotionally they connect on a deep level. Maya Banks still provided a solid story it just didn't get up there to what I wanted or needed in it.
